Halloween

This year for Halloween, Seth dressed up as a pumpkin. Justin and I were going to dress up as farmers, but we decided it would take too much effort. Pretty much, we just took it easy this Halloween. We really enjoyed being able to trick-or-treat with Seth at the zoo and our ward's trunk-or-treat. Seth was VERY generous in sharing his Halloween candy with us, (He doesn't have a sweet tooth yet ;).

We took Seth to the zoo boo, and we all had fun there! They gave out a lot of candy, had haunted houses that were not too scary, and we were able to watch the baby sea lion :)

Schramm Farms

We went to Schramm farms to enjoy the harvest atmosphere and the beautiful scenery. We also had fun taking pictures of Seth 



Seth's latest accomplishments

Seth is now 3 1/2 months old and is currently working on some big accomplishments. He showed us that he knows how to roll over...

 ...stand without help when leaned up against an object for a limited time....

... and hold his head up with ease when laying on his stomach...next step crawling :) We love watching him accomplish these new feats and look forward to the next thing that he will surprise us with. He is growing and changing so fast that it's hard to keep up with all of his new accomplishments. 

Trip to the Carnegie Science Center

Yesterday we decided to take a trip to visit the Carnegie Science Center here in Pittsburgh.  We had such a great time!  We are sure that Seth is now very knowledgeable in many scientific concepts! :)  Well at least we think so!

At the Science Center they had a Michael Jackson themed laser show that we attended.  Seth slept through most of it, and when he woke up he was trying to watch the show, but I think the images were moving too fast for him to track.  At least he seemed amused!

Also there is a large robotics area in the science center with many cool robots.  We took some pictures and videos for you to enjoy!

Here I am posing with the Roboceptionist to the robot area:

Then we found what may be the worlds best air hockey player.  In the video it is kind of hard to see just how good the robot is because the young boy playing isn't really pushing the limits.  However both Steph and I gave our best shot to scoring on the robot and failed.  They had been keeping statistics of the amount of goals scored by the robot and by humans during that day and it was
Robot: 315
Humans: 15

We also saw this robot that was shooting baskets.  They even had a hoop on the side that you could shoot on at the same time the robot did.  They kept track of the shooting statistics and the robot had made an amazing 80% of his shots and the humans had only made 20%.  This is the kind of guy you want to shoot those last minute game winning free-throws!



And for good measure we took a picture with some of our robot friends for memory sake.

Sorry we don't have any amazingly cute pictures of Seth, but rest assured, he is just as cute as always!  Except probably a little more cute... ;)

Seth's 3 Month Picture

So Seth isn't actually 3 months old yet, but I think he is sick of us taking his picture!  After 3 days, 5 outfits and over 200 pictures, without further ado, we present his official 3 month picture!

Family Pictures - Carnegie Mellon Style

Well we decided it would be a good idea to get family pictures as we are just starting a new family adventure.  Plus we wanted to buy Carnegie Mellon apparel and this this was a good way to rationalize the purchase!!! :)

We hope you enjoy!  We have also changed the theme on our blog which allows the blog to be a bit wider than before, and gave it a new color scheme.  Hope you enjoy!

You can see the rest of the pictures here.

The Many Faces of Seth

We hope you will take the time to see the many faces of our adorable Seth!
